Meantime, all I can say is I don’t understand how anyone can possibly be surprised. Shortly after word came out that Hagel is the frontrunner for the nomination, I read a quaint little blog post written by a conservative leaning commentator voicing her belief that Obama wouldn’t want to risk his relations with Israel’s supporters by appointing Hagel. But as Powerline pointed out today, this is the entire point of the nomination. Obama isn’t stupid. He picks fights he thinks he can win. He hasn’t always been right about those fights. He picked fights with Netanyahu thinking he could win, and he lost some of those.

But he is right to think he can win the Hagel fight. The Republican Senators aren’t going to get into a fight with Obama about his DOD appointee, especially given that it’s one of their fellow senators, even though many of them hate him. The Democrats are certainly not going to oppose him.

Obama wants to hurt Israel. He does not like Israel. He is appointing anti-Israel advisors and cabinet members not despite their anti-Israel positions, but BECAUSE of them.

Some commentators said that Susan Rice would be bad because she was anti-Israel and they hoped that Obama would appoint someone pro-Israel. But John Kerry is no friend of Israel. And as far as I was concerned, we would have been better off with Rice on the job.

Unlike Kerry, Rice is politically inept. She walked into Sen. John McCain’s office with the intention of convincing Sens. McCain, Lindsey Graham and Oympia Snowe that she was competent to serve as Secretary of State despite the fact that she deliberately misled the public on what happened at the Sept. 11 jihadist attack on the US consulate in Benghazi.

But she failed. In commenting on the meeting, all three senators said they were more concerned after speaking with Rice than they were before they did. That is, they said she was a political incompetent. Can there be any doubt that Sen. Kerry will be able to play the politics of Capitol Hill far more effectively than Rice?

And what reason does anyone have to believe that Assad’s great defender will be any more supportive of Israel than Rice would have been? But with him in the driver’s seat now, instead of having a political incompetent whom no one can stand serving as the spokesman for Obama’s anti-Israel foreign policy, in Kerry we will have a competent, reasonably popular politician on the job.

It’s time for people to realize the game has changed. Obama won.

Obama won with 70 percent of the Jewish vote despite the fact that his record in his first term was more hostile to Israel than any president since Jimmy Carter. No one can expect him now, after his victory, to feel even slightly constrained in his desire to weaken the US relationship with Israel.

So far, he has made clear that he feels no constraints whatsoever. Take the Palestinians at the UN for example. Obama enabled the Palestinians to get their non-member state status at the UN by failing to threaten to cut off US funding to the UN in retaliation for such a vote.

Both Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush issued such threats during their tenures in office and so prevented the motion from coming to a vote. Given that the Palestinians have had an automatic majority in the General Assembly since at least 1975, the only reason their status was only upgraded in 2012 is because until then, either the PLO didn’t feel like raising the issue or the US threatened to cut off its financial support to the UN if such a motion passed. This year PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas said he wanted to have a vote and Obama responded by not issuing a threat to cut off UN funding. So the Palestinians got their vote and, as expected, it passed overwhelmingly.

Seeing the upgrade as a Palestinian move is a mistake. It was a joint Palestinian-American move. And Obama made that move and no one balked. Indeed some New York Jews applauded it. Let there be no doubt, Obama will get Hagel in at Defense. And Hagel will place Israel in his crosshairs.

Moreover, one of his strongest advantages is that Israel’s supporters seem to have never gotten the memo. So here it is: Obama wants to fundamentally transform the US relationship with Israel.

He isn’t playing by the old rules. He doesn’t care about the so-called Israel lobby or the Jewish vote. As he sees it, to paraphrase Jim Baker, “F#&k the Jews, they voted for us anyway.”

As strange as it may sound, I am slightly relieved by Hagel’s appointment, and by my trust that Kerry will be a loyal mouthpiece of Obama’s hostility. The more “in our faces” they are with their hostility, the smaller our ability to deny their hostility or pretend that we can continue to operate as if nothing has changed.

As we face four more years of Obama – and four years of Obama unplugged — the most urgent order of business for Israelis is to stop deluding ourselves in thinking that under Obama the US can be trusted.

Can’t agrue with you there Spartacus.Sure looked like thise peoplc are their own worst enemy and card carrying masochists as well.
Obama has just nominated a horses face and a horses Ass to two very important cabinet positions. Now watch some
Republican Senator stand up and say that he deserves to have his choice the way they did when he nominated Holder. We ALL know what he deserves ! !

I’m not a Jew, and I just came upon this website from a search. Americans smugly voting in Obama for a second term is so illogical on so many levels. It proves that Americans today, collectively, are simply an ignorant people who are capable of great evil in the future.

Where the hell is useless AIPAC? These judenrats at aipac are useless for Israel. Aipac has had 50 years to prepair and CAIR is kicking their asses. I have had discussions with the fools at aipac and they only complain about Israel. Aipac and CAIR are on the same team it appears. I can’t remember the last story of aipac defending Israel. A new aipac needs to be created without any of the judenrats currently at aipac. Fools at aipac sure can send out request for donations. I stopped giving to this group years ago.

BO and his Israel/America hating administration is going to put its heel on the neck of these people to show them that the imperialists must pay back the poor people of the world that have been exploited. Plus the Israelis are the root of all trouble throughout the world and have been for centuries and must be wiped off the face of the planet.
The next move in this diabolical plan is to remove all Christians/Jews from the USA, Canada, Australia and England leaving the rest of the world to euthanize its own people of Jewish and Christian blood.
Watch as this game unfolds.

I have no doubts as to the intentions of these judenrats, it all about the money. Look who (obama’s bin lyn’ to everyone) is doling out favors if you care to see the truth and not mind ignoring the one behind the curtain.

I am not dissn’ jews, but, one cannot escape the obvious, most of the big donors of the demonrat party are in fact, liberal jews. I sometimes think God does indeed have a sense of humor. just rewards, and has prepared them for their own demise, with reasoning beyond myself of course, I have to believe it has something about them dening the Christ as their savior, not this mutt, obama’s bin lyn’, the question for me how long lord, how long must we be made to suffer these fools among us?

My true thoughts of Jews voting for this closet Muslim will defer to the wisdom of a Shrew.
Just look at all the changes occurring around the World and the United States. Common sense and decisions to better our living environment is digressing backwards. Some can see it, others are intuitive to its coming, and then there are the oblivious. For Jews in America to shake the hand that shakes the Muslim’s agenda to eradicate their presence in this World only serves proof the time is at hand.

I have always said that God is a trickster. He decided to give Jews a few geniuses but for every Einstein he gives the tribe, he slips in ten thousand idiots who become bourgeois and walk around looking smart, thinking they are smart but in reality are total fools. They run the New York Times, too. And Obama with his street smarts knows all that and knows how to pull the strings and fool them. I give up on them.

are the american jews of the left so wraped up in their own world that they did not see this next act comeing ? we will never know for none ever show up on here to enlighten us as to how their thoughts run on this ! afraid I guess of BNI

8 In the whole land, declares the Lord, two thirds shall be cut off and perish, and one third shall be left alive. 9 And I will put this third into the fire, and refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call upon my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people’; and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

An undeniable truth is the fact of the repetition of history. Not even a century has passed since the latest test God put his people through,the Holocaust, when the strength of his people are once again parting from his will. They have fallen to words and life of the secularism principles , in which the moral religious principles are abolished . Signs of the fulfillment of the scriptures.

what the hell is wrong with jews in this country ! , seems like they are just itching for another holocaust ! this ” degenerate pyromaniac ” is setting the middle east up to surround and eliminate Israel !!!! and they vote for him again !!!!! what fools !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
